Thib, The M2 Rapidwinder uses the same drive as the old Leicavit MP. The shaft
on the drive of the winder engages the shaft in the camera that holds the film
take up spool. If you look at the bottom of that shaft you will see a little
"cut-out" and the cross pin on the Rapidwinder M2 engages this.
 The attachement on the rewind knob is a "Quick rewind" that slips over the
regular round rewind knob. This particular one is made in Japan and is one of
the more elegant ones. Cost in Tokyo is US$45. I have a small collection of
these rewind attachements, some are good some are bad. This is probably the
best of the bunch'
